Euclid, to voice our comments <br />to this project by sending this email before 1pm today if we are not able to make the meeting <br />today at 5:30pm, which I'm not. <br /> <br />I've lived in this community for the past 7 years and we've had terrible experiences <br />throughout the years with homeless people jumping our walls to find refuge in our community <br />pool area and have damaged equipment and restrooms so we'd installed cameras and locked <br />the doors, which are inconveniences to our residence and many feel it's unsafe to use our <br />pool area unless it's crowded with residence. We are constantly experiencing thefts and car <br />break-ins, including my home break-in a couple years back and was vandalized my car and <br />inside my house which prompted me to buy a gun safe and some firearms for the protection <br />of my family and I never thought I would need a firearm to protect my family when we <br />purchased a home in a gated community. <br /> <br />Many of us have installed security cameras in and around our houses, which makes our <br />community look like a prison, and we have a Facebook Group page for us to be part of the <br />community to include us all with events and share our thoughts on how to improve our <br />community but it's actually mostly used for reporting crimes captured on our videos, possible <br />compare patterns how thieves come in to our gated community or what they take and to <br />warn others to be aware and to watch out for themselves and their children. <br /> <br />We are currently working with the businesses behind our community to help prevent the <br />vagrants who hide in the parking lots at night where they can escape loitering and being seen <br />or caught in the act of something by jumping over the wall to and from our community. Many <br />of us, like my family, are in fear of drug needles or human bio and trash that may be left <br />behind where our young children may accidentally be in contact of being poked or stepped
